A central New York man has been sentenced to 22 years to life in prison for a deadly stabbing he says was prompted by a pornographic video.

Randy Green said he was "not a bad person" as he was sentenced Thursday for slitting Ray Pike's throat Aug. 15 on a trail in Gloversville.

Green says he was psychologically affected by seeing the sexually explicit video, which he says depicted Pike with a young girl. Pike was a convicted sex offender who volunteered at local churches.

Defense lawyer Robert Abdella says a third man may have shown Green the video specifically to enrage him.

Fulton County District Attorney Louise Sira says police never found the tape.

Pike's daughter, Melissa Richardson, calls Green a "merciless and cowardly murderer who took it upon himself to play executioner."

Well at least they're blaming child porn and not Grand Theft Auto anymore.

If true I hope that man is also brought to justice.

maybe on possesion of child pornography, but its the personal choice of Pike to go on a killing mission. If 3rd man showed video to pike, and pike decided to start a childrens help shelter which became successful, should 3rd man be rewarded?
15 more years! 15 more years!

Heh, I actually find myself not minding. If a couple more of the child rapists and so forth got murdered I don't know If I would care that much (since a lot of the time they deserve it anyways).
Not super sure what the whole story is here, but meh

And you shouldn't forget that before condemning someone. There are plenty of holes in the story.

The video 'depicts' Pike with a girl? What, is it some chick in a japanese schoolgirl costume? Is it actually child rape on the tape?
Pike was already a convict, was this video of a crime he was already punished for?
Pike had a daughter, who apparently had forgiven the crime, and volunteered at churches. He seemed to move forward in life.

If 3rd man showed video to pike, and pike decided to start a childrens help shelter which became successful, should 3rd man be rewarded?
Yes. If Pike opens a shelter and at the opening ceremony, he thanks 3rd man for the inspiration, that is a reward and there may even be more too it.
I truly hope there is a law that applies, but if the intent of showing the video to Dredd was to inspire attack, 3rd man should be punished. Unfortunately, the only way for that to happen is more 3rd man to confess his intention.

Edit: If 3rd man does have that tape, and it is a video of Pike and a small girl, and it is not a crime Pike was yet charged with, then 3rd man is obstructing justice by not bringing the tape to the police, no? That's reproachable itself.
